I was just diagnosed with herpes 2 and I would like to get some advice on how to prevent ob and maybe just some guidance. F, aged 28.
For around almost 2 years I’ve been getting the odd cut and sore on my perineum or side of vagina. First time it ever happened, I had gone to the doctors for it to be swabbed. The nurse never stated it looked like herpes but had swabbed for it just incase. I had waited around 2 weeks to then be told they had lost the swab. I put it to the back of my mind, until it happened months down the line again and put it down to just a shaving cut. And this is how it went on for another year till present day, I’ve probably had around 4 of these since it first happened. When I got it swabbed again last week the nurse had stated the same as the first nurse, putting me to ease a little. To then get my results back of it being HSV2.
I have been with the same man for 3 years, never once have I cheated and he is declaring the same. He has no symptoms or anything relating to carrying this virus, which I do know from researching he could be asymptomatic. I would like to point out I’ve never had the initial first ob. Only these tiny cut or sore. I’m struggling mentally with that fact that I have this virus, yet my partner has been nothing but understanding and there for me. Yet I’ve lived with this for almost 2 years and it’s never once affected me until actually knowing what it is.
Does anyone have any supplements or general information that could help me dealing with this. Thank you
